changes and all defect repair changes are described in the T9057G06^AFQ or later
softdoc.
In summary, the latest Expand T9057 SPRs remove the use of Super Timefactors in
Expand routing. The original time factor method of routing used before
T9057G06^AEM (G06.08 RVU) is now used starting with SPR T9057AFL and G06.20.
SPEEDK is now mapped to a time factor, and values of SPEEDK for FOX networks or
faster are mapped to a time factor of 1. As a result, review settings for SPEEDK,
SPEED, and RSIZE to verify that the proper routing is maintained. (For example, if
both ServerNet and FOX exist between two adjacent nodes, set the time factor for the
preferred line to 1 and the less preferred line to either 2 or 3.)
A new LINETF modifier is provided and recommended to set the time factor of lines
directly. Neither SPEED nor SPEEDK is recommended.
In larger networks, incremental installation of the latest T9057G06^AFL SPR can
precipitate connection instability on nodes that are running earlier versions of Expand.
(Contact your service representative for assistance in using specific tools to resolve
network routing problems.)
The SPRs T0533G06^AEE, T0532G06^AAD, and T0509G06^AAD, and later, have
new modifiers to set time factors directly and to allow some parameters to be set
persistently. SPR T0533G06^AEE and later have new modifiers to support IPv6
addresses. The default values of some parameters have been changed. See the
softdoc for any installation details and the Expand Configuration and Management
Manual for information on the new modifiers.
See S03040 for more information on changes to Expand routing.

For information about updating and maintaining OSS database files, see the Open
System Services Management and Operations Guide and the Open System Services
Installation Guide . For new OSS features and for a summary of migration or installation
issues, see the Interactive Upgrade Guide 2.
Install Specific OSS Files Using COPYOSS or PINSTALL
To install products that are not managed by DSM/SCM, such as OSS Utilities, use
COPYOSS or PINSTALL.
•
If any OSS files are managed by DSM/SCM, use PINSTALL on the remaining pax
archives. See the
OSS Management and Operations Guide for a description of
PINSTALL use or the pinstall(1) reference page in the OSS Shell and Utilities
Reference Manual.
Note. Always check the Interactive Upgrade Guide 2 and Expand softdocs for changes to
Expand profiles. General configuration instructions are presented. For complete descriptions of
Expand profiles, modifiers, and attributes, see the Expand Configuration and Management
Manual
